This topic was touched on at Tuesday's town council meeting, but local mountain man (and Hollywood historian) Paul Ayers, who has been following the case, emailed us:

Yesterday, the La Vina HOA’s attorney informed counsel for plaintiffs in the consolidated cases that the HOA will not petition the Supreme Court for review of the Court of Appeal’s affirmation of the judgment and attorney’s fees award in favor of the County in the case of County of Los Angeles v. La Vina Homeowner’s Assn. (In point of fact, the time for the HOA to file its petition expired last Friday May 14th.) As such the County’s victory is confirmed and there is no legal bar to the enforcement of its judgment. The parties will be back before Judge De Vanon on June 9, 2010 for a status conference. At that time the future course of the consolidated cases including that of the remaining two actions against the HOA will probably be clearer.

What this means is that the La Vina homeowners will not only have to keep open the historic trails around the area, but pay about $784,000 in attorney's fees to the county lawyers.
